Well, it might be amusing, but I'm not sure it would provide anything besides that 
But I will add this.
It's been said before and this thread is just more proof: Sharks like exotics, and well, collector cars in general, no logic, so no pattern, etc. Look at Barrett-Jackson or Mecum, Insane money for a Camaro. and then there are the top end auctions like R&M. Years ago I listed my GTS. Was listed for over a year. In that time, one guy came to look. I wouldn't call it a low-ball offer, but I said at the outset that I was firm on the price. He started with the picky things like "what's this carbon in the exhaust pipe?" Then "There's one in Maryland for $XXX.", : less than mine. I said, well, I think you need to drive to Maryland and look at that one then. Mine was still on cars.com a few months later. I guess he couldn't swing the trip to MD. He called and was pissed that he had to see my car still listed and why didn't I remove the ad if I wasn't going to sell it. I still have the car and I'm glad I do. If he found one, it either has deferred maint. or he is screaming about the cost and will sell rather than pay for a TB/water pump.
Second, it' shard to get an accurate number, but if you look at the estimate of sharks registered, and how many post here and mult by say 10 for lurkers, RL is a small part of the shark population.
